DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Case Study: Monitoring And Protecting Water Quality In Lake Mead, Nevada Lake Mead is one of several reservoirs along the Colorado River; however, due to increases in population and agricultural operations in recent decades, this once-expansive lake in the desert is becoming more compromised. While inflow into Lake Mead primarily is from the Colorado River, a small percent is also from rivers on the northern side of the Lake and from Las Vegas Wash on the northwest side. Las Vegas Wash transports treated municipal wastewater effluent, stormwater and urban runoff, and shallow groundwater seepage from the Las Vegas urban area to Boulder Basin in Lake Mead. Effluent flow rates have more than doubled in recent years, prompting concern over potential effects to reservoir water quality, especially since some of the water is pumped for the municipal water treatment plant at Saddle Island
• Radium Removal For A Large Treatment System

  The City of San Angelo, TX selected WRT’s Z-88 Radium Removal treatment system for reducing high levels of radium in their wells. The city’s Phase I treatment plan was fulfilled in 2014 with the installation of the first Z-88 Radium Removal treatment system. This large treatment facility has been reducing the levels of radium below the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) since it’s inception.

• How To Avoid Byproduct Formation When Using An Ozone And Biologically Active Filtration System

  This article will cover the different types of byproducts that can occur, along with specific examples, and what is needed to reduce their presence in the final effluent.

• How To Benefit From Greater Transparency To Customers

  Being more proactive in sharing utility operational insights with customers can pay dividends in terms of promoting efficiency and elevating customer satisfaction. It can also prepare utilities to respond more effectively to sudden or drastic disruptions of standard operations, such as droughts, floods, wildfires, or health emergencies. Here is how to establish and benefit from greater transparency.

• Not All Differential Pressure Meters Are Created Equal

  Due to the dynamics of liquids and gases flowing through elbows, valves, pumps, and other pipeline structures, every flow-meter methodology has its own design limitations. Unlike Venturi meters, pitot tubes, orifice plates, and other devices, V-Cone meters provide highly accurate and reliable readings with minimal straight-pipe length restrictions and virtually no maintenance, in pipe sizes up to 120”.

• AMI Solution Enhances Efficiency And Boosts Customer Engagement

• No Shutdowns, No Setbacks: The Smart Valve Strategy Behind Englewood's Water Upgrade

  Discover how Englewood, Colorado's Lead Reduction Program utilized Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve technology to replace 3,000 lead service lines without service disruption, overcoming aging infrastructure challenges and ensuring consistent water supply.

• The Life Cycle Benefits Of Ductile Iron Pipe: A Comprehensive Comparison With Other Pipe Materials

  In this article, explore the life cycle benefits of ductile iron pipe in comparison with PCCP, PVC, and HDPE pipes.

• The Next Generation Of Distribution System Management And Leak Detection

  As municipal water systems grapple with tightening budgets and water scarcity continues to be a growing issue, communities must look toward solutions that reduce their need for source water, bring down the costs of treatment, and allow for better management of the pipeline assets.

• Cost-Effective Sludge Thickening Processor Using MBR Membrane Bioreactor

  The Toray MBR modules helped a local utility achieve their goals of conserving water and meeting the Regional Water Quality Control Board's effluent standards (Title 22), so the reclaimed water can be used for irrigation and other reuse applications.
